Wednesday Farmers Market a work in progress

The Wednesday Fayette County Farmers Market is most certainly a work in progress. Some of our Saturday vendors are attempting to rework their business plans and schedules in order to attend the Wednesday market and others will not be attending.

In addition, we have invites out to new vendor prospects who often can’t do a Saturday market. We do have commitments from at least two produce growers who will be attending as soon as they have sufficient seasonal harvest. Other vendors have stated that it is a lot simpler to bring fresh berries to market in an afternoon than it is for a morning market. I suspect sweet corn would also be easier to harvest and bring to market in an afternoon also.

A limited supply of black raspberries and strawberries will be available this Wednesday.

The location is 1650 Columbus Ave. (TSC parking lot) and the market will run from 4 to 7 p.m. This location also accepts charge/debit cards and SNAP EBT cards. The following vendors have indicated they should be there (among others who did not know yet):

Bye Gardens (Brian & Elaine Yoder): lettuce, tomatoes, kale, strawberries, their first blueberries, cinnamon rolls. They have to leave at 6:30 for church.
